A Prayer request for one of the boys' friends

I got 2 messages today from friends of ours who are missionaries. Their son, Tucker, is good friends with our boys. He needs our prayers.

Message #1
Could you all pray for Tucker he impaled his hand on a stick and had surgery yesterday and we just hope his doesn't get infection and has all mobility?

Message #2
Thanks, its all been pretty nasty with the hospitals here and all. I really surprised the Dr used gloves. He didn't have a mask though, and he had this huge knitted scarf around his neck that made it impossible for him to move his head. He was dirty and in street clothes, and just threw his car keys and sunglasses on the instrument table next to Tucker. Then he just starts cutting and digging in his hand I couldn't watch, but Kevin held his hand and said it was awful. His hand is all swollen and turning black and blue, he can't move his fingers. Tomorrow we go to have his bandage changed and they will put stictches in his palm which they left open so it could drain. They put stitches on the top part of his hand where the stcik came out. They think he may still have pieces inside. Hopefully it will heal ok.

Please keep this family in your prayers and I will update everyone when I find out additional information.
